stewartlord Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:57:58 +0000 Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=292336 Log: Implemented search auto-complete. The auto-completing search feature uses the popular jquery.autocomplete plugin: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete The auto-complete data set is held client-side. This incurs one http request to load the search index when the page is loaded (via jQuery.getScript()), thereby avoiding additional requests as the user types in the search field. This makes the auto-complete feature very responsive. The search index file defines a 'searchIndex' array containing the name and page (filename) of each entry in the manual. The file is 382 KB uncompressed. Gzip compression (via the cli) reduces this to 53 KB. Proper configuration of server-side compression and expire headers should make this download relatively painless. The search index file resides under the js folder and is named: 'search-index-<lang>.js'. There is only one index file at this time ('en') and it was manually generated. The auto-complete feature has one major short-coming; the results are not sorted/ranked by relevance. This will required modification of the auto-complete plugin or a server-side suggest script to overcome.
